This research discusses the implementation of a music score into a collaboration of digital music, dance and poetry. The integration of the three arts is done by symbolizing human life from birth to adulthood. The researcher, as the creator of this Destination composition, intends to add to his repertoire by combining three different arts, namely, digital music, dance and poetry. This compositional work was created using qualitative, practice-based, practice-led and ethnographic methods. The process of making this work is by analyzing music score data taken from the results of field exploration and in combination with poetry and dance script data and then processed into the laboratory desk. The result is the creation of collaborative digital music, dance and poetry, based on the culture of human life and the author's background and life experiences. The work reflects the symbols of human life which are revealed in the poem entitled Directions of Life. Initially, Destination's composition work was a composite work created using cross-cultural (combination) elements of Western music, and Malay music (gendang Malay). Furthermore, the work is processed into a collaboration that is carried out with a combination of motion, emotion, voice intonation and digital music. The result of the collaboration of Destination's compositions is to produce a performance that combines three different arts where music is the main focus in bringing out ideas and concepts of body movement and voice intonation from dancers and poetry readers.

AbstractAspects of human life history and cognition, such as our long childhoods and extensive use of teaching, theoretically evolved to facilitate the acquisition of complex tasks. The present paper empirically examines the relationship between subsistence task difficulty and age of acquisition, rates of teaching, and rates of oblique transmission among Hadza and BaYaka foragers from Tanzania and the Republic of Congo. We further examine cross-cultural variation in how and from whom learning occurred. Learning patterns and community perceptions of task difficulty were assessed through interviews. We found no relationship between task difficulty, age of acquisition, and oblique transmission, and a weak but positive relationship between task difficulty and rates of teaching. While same-sex transmission was normative in both societies, tasks ranked as more difficult were more likely to be transmitted by men among the BaYaka, but not among the Hadza, potentially reflecting cross-cultural differences in the sexual division of subsistence and teaching labor. Further, the BaYaka were more likely to report learning via teaching, and less likely to report learning via observation, than the Hadza, possibly owing to differences in socialization practices.

This article considers processes of environmental racialisation in the postgenomic era through their politics of difference and poetics of influence. Subfields like epigenetics promise to account for a plurality of possible influences on health outcomes. While this appears to present possibilities for historical reparation to communities whose epigenomes may have been chronically altered by histories of violence and trauma, the prevailing trend has been to compound processes of racialisation in the reproduction of good/bad environments. The postgenomic era has promised an epistemological transformation of ideas and values of human life, but its practices, technologies and ideology have so far prevented this. Epigenetics, rather, reproduces biomedical exclusions through imaginaries of embodied contexts, methods of occlusion and hypervisibility, and assignations of delay and deviance. This is more complex than both genetic reductionism and environmental racism: studies on epigenetics reveal a poetics of influence at work under liberal humanism complicit in the creation of death-worlds for racialised populations. Other experiments with life are possible and unfolding: Jay Bernard’s poem ‘Chemical’, set in the aftermath of London’s Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, unmoors its bodies from material environment, offering a spectral configuration of collective life. This configuration involves negotiating with the fixing of time and space on which genomic imaginaries depend.

The term pop-music already claims to be artificial, just like "classical" western music. In this context, the article deals with the potentials of digital music edition, focusing on the necessity of a pop-music philology. In paying attention particularly to non-textual aspects of music, this seems one of the most important potentials of digital music edition in this area. Therefore, the need of a pop-music philology is emphasized here. This may include the edition of audiovisual objects, objects of cultural behavior and historical objects. We examine this using the example of the cover-version phenomenon, and recommend at least addressing copyright aspects.

Experience in cross-cultural monitoring of pandemic and infodemic images. The new look of “Witches of the 21st Century”: virus vs religion. “We are in the same boat”: the rhetoric of mutual assistance, and not the opposition “friends or foes”. Visible and invisible victims. Deferred Risk Strategy: Help Only the “Visible Victim”. The dangers of temptation are simple solutions. A pandemic situation — a situation of destruction of public rules? The value of human life as a factor in preventing violence.

This chapter places Catholic teaching on questions of life and death against the background of a Catholic vision of salvation history, emphasizing that Catholics see no necessary opposition between Christian faith and progress in scientific understanding of the creation. The chapter then considers questions concerning abortion, contraception, and techniques for artificial reproduction. The second half of the chapter focuses on questions concerning death. Catholic teaching views human life in this world as finite, and thus sees death as intrinsic to the current human condition. After considering Catholic teaching on euthanasia, the chapter considers Catholic discussion of war, the death penalty, and care for the environment.

From “How was your day?” to “Remember the time we …”, we use stories as a way to share our experiences, understandings and concerns with others. Stories extend our knowledge and understanding of other people and situations, other culturesand languages by including the emotional expressions of factual information. When so much of family and community life in South Africa remains insular and disconnected from other cultures, other languages and other belief systems, storiescan extend boundaries beyond our single perspectives and experiences to the varying perspectives of others. This becomes particularly important for teachers of young children who may have very different life experiences from those of the children they teach. In this project, we examined storytelling as a way to cross-cultural boundaries and of harnessing the diverse worlds of South African citizens pedagogically. We asked fourth year students in a Foundation Phase teacher education programme to identify a person from a different cultural and linguistic group; and to have that person share a story with them to discover how the experience of listening to stories from different cultures, languages, and belief systems might influence their attitudes towards teaching children with those characteristic differences.

The objectives of this research are to find out the service quality and to investigate the supporting and the inhibiting factors of passport handling at the first class Immigration Office of Makassar. There are 13 informants involved in this research. The type of this research is qualitative research with phenomenological type which is emphasized to the subjectivity of human life experiences. The data were collected by using observation and interview. The results of this research reveal that the service is still less qualified. It can be identified from some aspects such as Empathy in which some officers still act unfairly in the service process. Other aspects such as Tangible, Reliability, Responsiveness, and Assurance have been conducted optimally. The supporting factors are the adequate facilities and infrastructures while the lack of public awareness becomes the inhibiting factor of the service.Key word: Service quality, passport handling.ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui kualitas pelayanan dan mengetahui faktor pendukung dan penghambat dalam pengurusan paspor di Kantor Imigrasi Kelas I Makassar.

Although MIR has demonstrated great success in automatic analysis of Western music, no study has tested automatic algorithms against perceptual ground-truth data for a global musical sample. It thus remains unknown whether MIR algorithms can be meaningfully applied to automatically compare diverse music from around the world. In this pilot study, we aim to establish ground truth perceptual data on similarity between diverse musical recordings from across the world and use this perceptual data to test the accuracy of existing audio similarity algorithms. Preliminary results (two participants, ten recordings) suggest that perceptual ratings of musical similarity are significantly correlated between participants, but these similarities are only weakly correlated with similarities measured by an automatic algorithm. While this is consistent with more pessimistic assessments of MIR’s current ability to accommodate non-Western music, we hypothesize that collecting more perceptual data, comparing against more algorithms, and creating new algorithms based on more universal musical theories will enable meaningful automatic analysis of all the world’s music within the near future. This would have important implications for our understanding of cross-cultural music diversity, including applications to domains such as music recommendation and cultural heritage preservation.
